<A NAME="TI2436"></A><h4>Views in the Window painter</h4>
<A NAME="TI2437"></A><p>You design windows in the Window painter. The Window painter
has several views where you specify how a window looks and how it
behaves. The Window painter looks similar to the User Object painter
for visual user objects and it has the same views. For details about
the views, how you use them, and how they are related, see <A HREF="pbugp43.htm#CAICBJFC">"Views in painters that edit
objects"</A>.</p>
<A NAME="TI2438"></A><h4>Window painter workspace</h4>
<A NAME="TI2439"></A><p>The default layout for the Window painter workspace has two
stacked panes with the Script and Properties views at the top of
the stacks. </p>
<A NAME="TI2440"></A><p>Most of your work in the Window painter is done in three views: <A NAME="TI2441"></A>
<ul>
<li class=fi>The Layout view, where you design the appearance
of the window</li>
<li class=ds>The Properties view, where you set window properties
and control properties </li>
<li class=ds>The Script view, where you modify behavior by coding
window and control scripts
</li>
</ul>
</p>
<A NAME="TI2442"></A><p>This illustration shows the Layout view at the top of one
of the stacks.</p>
